Gameplay trailer




Comes out September 6th


Of course I'll get it. Need the new rosters.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

I'll continue my trend of only buying 2K or Madden when a local team player is on the cover. I can finally retire 2k18 with Kyrie as a Celtic. :lol:

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

No thanks. After the disaster that was 2K24, 2K won't be getting any more of my money. They nickel and dime you to death. Even more than EA and that's a tall order to fill. It's a shame too. NBA 2K was always one of my must have games every year.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

2k24 was one of the better games in the series. That being said I will wait for it to show up on Gamepass as usual.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

I have to disagree with that. The badge regression alone made it a non starter for me.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

The fact they fixed the shooting kept me playing.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

Confirmed that the $150 version will once again come with a year of league pass.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

How does the bundled league pass work?

I already have a few months of league pass (also thanks to Jayson Tatum) leftover from last year so can I just add on to that, or is it just for the calendar year?

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

I believe LP is month to month, so you should be able to stack it to whatever you have left. Not 100% though.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

Not sure if it's available everywhere, but Target has a bundle of the PS5 slim and this game for 499. In case anyone was planning on buying both sometime soon.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

After some thought, I'm leaning towards passing on this cycle of NBA 2K. The reviews aren't exactly glowing and from a personal standpoint, I don't think I can support a game with a Celtic as the cover athlete. At least not for the full price of $70.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

As much as I wanted to support a Celtic on the cover, Sony put 2k24 on PSN+ Extra so I just downloaded that. Basically, the same roster for the Celtics anyway.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

So anyone actually play this yet? I'm wondering if they kept that dumb thing where your skills actually regress if you don't play for a while in the game.

On sale at Amazon for $29.99

I’m probably going to pull the trigger. That’s a good price point.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

I think it's 29.99 everywhere (physical, all editions) and 31.49 for digital on Xbox. I'm sure PS will have a similar digital sale. This is a game that basically has a huge update to make it playable and most of the content is online so there's very little physical "ownership" so the 1.50 might be worth it for the convenience... :)

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

Pulled the trigger and bought the game from Amazon. Just arrived today. I know sports game aren't really popular on this board, but I love the NBA 2K series and $30 is more than reasonable for it IMO.

Need to make the time to install it. But, I am looking forward to playing with Knecht and seeing JJ on the Lakers sideline instead of Darvin "Pockets" Ham. ;)

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

Looks like it sold out on Amazon after it dropped to $30

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

I enjoyed last years version quite a bit, taking my created player all the way to his hall of fame speech. But I’ll wait for this to land on Gamepass again.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

It's only 31.49 digital. And for a game that is basically deprecated in two years and needs constant patches to be playable, there's little reason to yearn for physical in this case.

I've heard horrible things about the shooting in this game but I'm tempted, mainly because, by design, the last game I bought will have their servers shut down (and thus all myplayer progression) at the end of the year.

Huge discount for the digital All-Star edition

$39.99. Regular price is $100


Otherwise if you don't care about the bonus content, you can get the standard digital edition for $27.99.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

Thanks! I went with the NBA/Top Spin bundle for 49.

Re: NBA 2K25 -- featuring Jayson Tatum
 

I know this isn't a new thing, but can I just say how f'ing annoying it is that there's no easy way to use injured players in this game? I get the appeal of up to the minute roster updates, but when my son and I just want to "play now", I don't really care that Luka has a strained calf in real life. I'm not running a simulation.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to do this outside of creating a new roster and manually disabling all of the individual injuries. Of course I tried this and couldn't even get that to work, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong. But whatever. It should just be a simple toggle. How is this not the most obvious feature ever? Am I missing something obvious here?

*I should add that I'm playing on the Switch, which is like playing the Gameboy version of Mortal Kombat, but that shouldn't matter.
